LinkedIn QuizInstructions:The quiz can be given in two formats - either with access to the LinkedIn site, or on paper. When there is accessto the site, an advanced recruiter will score above 80, and a bare minimum score would be around 50.Without access to the site, leeway should be given with answers, and the scores will still be 20-25 points lower.These conclusions have been tested in blind studies. If you plan to use this as a screening tool, I highlyrecommend you first give a blank copy to the recruiter candidate to study at home, then have them fill in theinformation when they arrive for the interview.Candidate Profile: worth 15 pointsWhere can you find candidate contact preferences?
